Itinerary

Day 1

Electric bike tour Cusco

Pick-up in Cusco at 8:00 a.m. - visit to Tambomachay - return to your hotel around 1:00 p.m.

The e-bike tour visits the most popular and important archaeological sites around the city of Cusco.

Our vehicle will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at around 8:00 a.m. and transfer you to Saphi. After the guide’s briefing, we will take our bikes and continue the tour by pedaling along a road that leads to the first archaeological site: Sacsayhuamán, a ceremonial center built with colossal stones. We will have an approximately 30-minute walk inside the Sacsayhuamán archaeological complex.

After completing our visit, we will get back on our bikes. We will then ride for 45 minutes along a paved road, surrounded by landscapes and communities dedicated to agriculture, textile sales, and handicrafts. After 45 minutes of cycling, we will arrive at Tambomachay, a center of worship and water veneration. Its hydraulic channels show great engineering skill. We will spend approximately 30 minutes visiting Tambomachay.

Across from this complex is Puca Pucara, an ancient Inca control and surveillance post, which we will visit briefly.

After visiting Puca Pucara, we will continue by bike until we reach the archaeological site of Q’enqo, where you will learn about its ceremonial importance related to rituals and offerings. You may enter its underground galleries or, if preferred, visit the eucalyptus forest, an ideal place for taking photographs.

After this visit, we will begin the return by bike along the same route. Before reaching the end of the tour, we will make a brief stop at the San Cristóbal viewpoint, where we will enjoy a view of the city of Cusco. Then, we will continue biking to the Main Square, where we will leave the bikes and take you back to your hotel in Cusco, ending our adventure tour at approximately 1:00 p.m.

Note:

Our tour does not include entrance tickets to the archaeological complexes. If you wish to visit them, it is important to purchase the Cusco Tourist Ticket (BTC).

Experiences from Our Travelers on the Cusco Bike Tour

Indira and her electric bike tour through Cusco

I took a four-hour electric bike tour through Cusco, and it was a different way to discover the city. From the beginning, the organization and instructions were very clear, which allowed me to start the tour feeling relaxed and confident. Little by little, I made my way through different areas of Cusco while enjoying the scenery. The electric bike assistance made the ride much more comfortable and allowed me to focus on everything the guide was explaining.

Throughout the experience, the team at CuscoPeru.com was attentive and took care of every detail of the tour. I especially appreciated their punctuality, organization, and the warmth with which they accompanied me. It was four hours filled with great moments and a very special way to discover Cusco from a different perspective. I take home a wonderful memory of this adventure and thank the entire team for making the experience so enjoyable.

 Verified Tudo perfeito
Eu e meu marido adoramos o passeio. Tudo ocorreu muito bem desde a reserva que fiz diretamente com a Cusco Peru ainda no Brasil. Fui muito bem atendida pelo whatsapp. No dia anterior a visita a Macchu Picchu, Effrain foi ao nosso hotel, explicar todo o itinerário detalhadamente. No dia do passeio nosso motorista, Rosel, estava na porta do hotel pontualmente para nos deixar na estação de trem. De lá seguimos até Águas Calientes onde encontramos nossa guia Maria. Fomos muito bem direcionados e também muito bem recebidos por todos os colaboradores da empresa. Também ganhamos brindes para guardar de recordação.

 Verified Cusco & Machu Picchu
It was very well done. CuscoPeru did a fantastic job with my tour. Efrain picked me up on time at the airport. Both Julio and Henry did a great job with super information the first 2 days. The buffet lunch the tour provided was top shelf, including sushi. On day 3 Eddy did a wonderful job explaining all of Machu Picchu. My tour was for Circuit 1, but he somehow managed to get me on Circuit 3 as well. It was a day I will never forget. All hotel accommodations were very comfortable. I would recommend this tour to anyone

 Verified Highly recommended
The trip was great! Our driver Roselito picked us up from the hotel and was very knowledgeable in the history of region, took us on the scenic route. Once we got on the train, it included snacks and drinks (water, coffee, or tea). Once we got to Aguascalientes, we were met by our tour guide Renato and Norma. Norma made sure we met our tour guide Renato, and made sure we got on the bus. Once we arrived at the entrance of Machu Pichu, we were met by our tour guide Renato. It was a pleasant experience. Pictures don’t do the site justice. Our tour guide Renato gave us an overview of the site and significance of the layout. I highly recommend booking with the company, and if possible make sure you get Roselito as your driver from Cusco to the train station.

 Verified Fun and exciting!
I had a custom 9-day tour. I told the booking agents the things I wanted see and do in Peru and they came up with an itinerary. I really enjoyed all the day trips and when I needed to make an adjustment during the tour, Efrain (my coordinator) was right on it. He was always available to answer my questions, which really made me feel comfortable travelling alone. Also, the tour guides and drivers were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend CuscoPeru to anyone who wants interesting/fun tours and/or needs a little assistance in planning what to do!

Frequently Asked Questions About the Electric Bike Tour in Cusco

Find answers to the most common questions about schedules, difficulty, the route, how the electric bikes work, entrance fees to archaeological sites, safety equipment, and recommendations for taking the electric bike tour in Cusco.

Do I need mountain biking experience to take the tour?

You do not need to be an expert cyclist, but you should feel comfortable riding a bicycle and be confident braking, turning, and riding on sections with slopes. Before starting, the guide will provide instructions on how to use the electric bike and explain the safety measures for the route.

What bikes are used during the tour?

The tour uses Santa Cruz Heckler electric mountain bikes, designed for mountain routes and equipped with electric pedal assistance. This assistance is especially helpful on uphill sections and allows you to complete the route with less effort than on a conventional bicycle, making them well suited to this type of MTB Cusco route.

Does the electric bike pedal by itself?

No. The bike provides assistance while you pedal, but you remain in control of the pace, gears, brakes, and steering. You can adjust the level of assistance depending on the terrain and how much effort you want to make.

Does Cusco’s altitude affect the bike ride?

The route takes place at high altitude, so travelers who have recently arrived in Cusco may find physical activity more demanding than usual. We recommend arriving in the city beforehand, getting some rest, and taking the tour once you feel comfortable with the altitude.

What safety equipment is provided during the tour?

The service includes a helmet, gloves, and knee pads, as well as the electric bike. The ride is also accompanied by a guide specialized in cycling, and a first-aid kit is available throughout the tour.

What should I bring for the electric bike tour?

We recommend wearing comfortable sportswear, shoes with good support, sunscreen, sunglasses, and carrying water and a light backpack. During the rainy season, it is also important to bring a poncho or waterproof jacket.
